20-year-old's tattoo creatively describes the struggle of depression

Bekah Miles, a 20-year-old student at George Fox University, recently got a leg tattoo that creatively describes the struggles that come along with facing depression.

The leg tattoo first appears to read "I'm fine", but when you glance at it from another perspective -- looking down at the leg -- it reads, "Save me."

Miles shared a photo of her tattoo to her personal Facebook page, opening by saying, "Dear mom and dad, please don't kill me over this permanent choice. I want you to hear me out." Since posting the picture, the photo has gone viral, with more than 350,000 "likes," and it has been shared over 290,000 times.

Bekah explains the tattoo saying:

%shareLinks-quote="To me, it means that others see this person that seems okay, but, in reality, is not okay at all. It reminds me that people who may appear happy, may be at battle with themselves. " type="quote" author="Bekah Miles" authordesc="" isquoteoftheday="false"%
